Wheel Arch Height
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Empty the vehicle so that it is at "curb weight". (Empty the cargo room, load the spare tire, jack and service tools, and fill up the fuel tank.)
- Set the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position, and stabilize the suspension by moving the vehicle in a straight line for 5 m (16 ft) or more.
- Suspend a thread from the wheel arch (point "A" in the figure below) and affix at a position directly above the center of wheel.
- Measure the distance between the point "A" and the center of wheel.
